Former President Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris were set to face off in a highly anticipated presidential debate on Fox News, but Harris’ team has reportedly backed out of the event. Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to express his thoughts on the matter, citing Harris’ reluctance to defend her record and past statements.
Despite this setback, both Trump and Harris have confirmed their participation in a debate on ABC News scheduled for September 10. Additionally, Trump has agreed to another debate on NBC News on September 25. The Harris campaign has hinted at a potential second debate in October.
The decision by Harris’ team to decline the Fox News debate has sparked criticism from Trump, who accused them of playing games and being insecure. In response, Harris’ campaign communications director emphasized the importance of allowing voters to see the candidates’ competing visions for the future.
In lieu of the Fox News debate, Trump has announced that he will participate in a town hall in Pennsylvania with Fox News host Sean Hannity. The upcoming debates promise to be crucial moments in the presidential race, as the candidates continue to make their case to the American people.
